Project Management Methodology. The USI Senior Project Manager will be in contact with Juggernaut daily, discussing the project, ensuring that all deliverables and reviews are met, and documenting all progress. In order to expedite communication between USI and Juggernaut, the following reports and processes will be implemented: Production Schedule The Production Schedule is a timeline of the project, outlining the important project milestones. If the project scope is altered during production, the Production Schedule is updated accordingly to reflect the change. All internal and external reviews and milestones will be reflected in this schedule. The Production Schedule will be updated with completed tasks and delivered to Juggernaut twice monthly. Status Meetings Internal team Status Meetings will be held on a weekly basis. Client Status Meetings will be determined by milestones within the Production Schedule; a schedule of all Client Status Meetings will be generated and distributed on a monthly basis. Weekly Status Report Given to Juggernaut weekly. These reports reflect all conversations, developments, and issues relevant to the project, and reiterate any dependencies or deliverables that are needed from Juggernaut. Contact Report Used as a verification of an agreement or important meeting with Juggernaut, a Contact Report is usually sent a few days after the conversation takes place. Our policy is to fax the report -- if it is not disputed within 24 hours, it is understood that Juggernaut agrees with the account of the decisions made, and the next production steps will be taken.

Project Management Methodology. The implementation is conducted by a cross-functional team of experts from several departments within CentralSquare led by the assigned Project Manager. A phased approach to project management is followed to ensure the critical services are consistent and results are achieved. Phases include:
Project Management Methodology. The method a firm follows in its disciplined planning, organisation, motivating and controlling resources to achieve specific Project goals.
Project Management Methodology. UNIVERUS uses a structured and layered project management methodology that relies on detailed and complete project plans to determine who is working on what tasks and when throughout the life of the project. Central to UNIVERUS’s philosophy is maintaining strong communication throughout the teams, setting expectations early, facilitating and coaching as required and monitoring progress. We view the relationship with the CITY as a partnership in this endeavor. UNIVERUS’s methodology is the foundation of the implementation; however it is understood that ‘one size does not fit all’. UNIVERUS takes a consultative and pragmatic approach to ensure that the methodology fits the CITY’s organization. Utilizing the fundamentals, techniques and industry experience, UNIVERUS will work closely with the CITY in refining the methodology to best suit the goals of the project. Any amendments to the methodology described in this document will be documented via a change order. UNIVERUS will provide a single, dedicated Project Manager throughout the life of the project who will work directly with the CITY’s Project Manager and the joint team to ensure that all project responsibilities are met and milestones achieved. UNIVERUS will provide project management services through all phases of this project. UNIVERUS will administer and maintain the Project Schedule. UNIVERUS does not assume the CITY’s responsibility for management of its resources, or the management of other vendors and suppliers retained by the CITY. UNIVERUS is responsible for the entry into the project schedule and management of all tasks, resource assignments, allocations, resource leveling, actual work entry and all other Project Schedule maintenance for UNIVERUS and the CITY. Key milestones for other subcontractors working as part of this project for Univerus or the CITY may also be tracked in the Project schedule by mutual agreement of the project managers..
Project Management Methodology. A project is a temporary and one-time exercise which varies in duration. It is undertaken to address a specific need in an organization, which may be to create a product or service or to change a business process. This is in direct contrast to how an organization generally works on a permanent basis to produce their goods or services. For example, the work of an organization may be to manufacture trucks on a continual basis, therefore the work is considered functional as the organization creates the same products or services over-and-over again and people hold their roles on a semi permanent basis. What is Project Management? A project is generally initiated by a perceived need in an organization. Being a one off undertaking, it will have a start and an end, constraints of budgets, time and resources and involves a purpose built team. Project teams are made up of many different team members, for example, end users/customers (of a product or service), representatives from Information Technology (IT), a project leader, business analysts, trainers, the project sponsor and other stakeholders. Project management is the discipline of managing all the different resources and aspects of the project in such a way that the resources will deliver all the output that is required to complete the project within the defined scope, time, and cost constraints. These are agreed upon in the project initiation stage and by the time the project begins all stakeholders and team members will have a clear understanding and acceptance of the process, methodology and expected outcomes. A good project manager utilizes a formal process that can be audited and used as a blue print for the project, and this is achieved by employing a project management methodology. Generally, projects are split into three phases Initiation, Implementation and Closure. Each phase then has multiple checkpoints that must be met before the next phase begins. The degree to which a project is managed will depend on the size of the project. For a complex project in a large organization that involves a number of people, resources, time and money, a more structured approach is needed, and there will be more steps built into each stage of the project to ensure that the project delivers the anticipated end result. For a simple project in a small organization, agreed milestones, a few checklists and someone to co-ordinate the project may be all that is required. In Figure 11.1 is presented the scheme of Project ma...
Project Management Methodology. Defines the manner by which projects are initiated, planned, managed and closed. Project Management Office (PMO) An organizational body or entity assigned various responsibilities related to the centralized and coordinated management of those projects under its domain. Responsibilities can range from providing project management support functions to actually being responsible for the direct management of a project. Project Management Office Collaboration Site – A resource rich website that provides project managers with guidance, templates and process information designed to reduce work and effort, provide consistency and help produce successful IT projects at PennDOT. Project Manager The person responsible and accountable for managing a project's planning and performance. The single point of accountability for a project. Project Scaling Process A process that utilizes a set of cost and complexity factors to yield a rating or “level” for a given project. Project Level The result of the project scaling process, a project’s “level” is a rating that dictates the amount of documentation, governance and oversight required to adequately monitor, manage, document and govern a project. In general: Level 1= small, Level 2=medium, Level 3=large scale project. Project Plan A collection of plans (e.g. communication plan, quality plan, risk plan, etc.) that make up the overall plan for executing the project. This includes the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), a logical decomposition of all phases, activities and tasks that make up the process by which the project will be carried out. Project Profile An executive level Project Status Report developed by the PMO each month. Project Status Report A succinct report designed to provide the current status and health of the project. There are three primary templates for this purpose at PennDOT: PEMT meeting template, Project Governance Committee meeting template and Project Profile template. Quality Assurance (QA) It is the application of planned, systematic quality activities to ensure that the project will employ all key project management processes and meet project requirements. Quality Control (QC) It is the application of processes (such as testing and deliverable reviews) to ensure the deliverables of the project meet or exceed the requirements. Request for Proposal (RFP) A document that describes a need for products and/or services and the conditions under which they are to be provided. The purpose of the RFP is to solic...
